i am the face of the government, but i am also the face that journalists will try to get the official line from. it was not uncommon for me to go into the building at 7:30 in the morning and having reporters waiting for me to comment. the bad thing is the pursuit. the good thing is that most journalists learned the best way to get information was to treat me with that level of consideration, ask for my comments, ask for an appointment, ask me to send something in writing. be quick, be clear, the focused, and move on. >> lieutenant, best choice, worst mistake? >> the consideration given to members of the community, this horrific criminal event. yes, it was a criminal event. and i think we treated the press equally. abc did not have it over nbc and so forth. we made sure that if i had something to release, it was released at that location and they all got it all at the same time once it was to be released. and i think -- i cannot really say anything negative. there were questions after the q&a, after each press conference, there were questions that i will simply say were inappropriate.
